X Abstract

Explored several procedural questions in the use of the principal components technique for filtering time series data and reconstructing attractors in two or more dimensions. Data originated from an earlier study on work flows in experimental hierarchical organizations. The reconstructed time series and attractors were evaluated alongside a nonlinear regression modeling approach for assessing the dynamical properties of data. The results showed that, if the nonlinear function representing the time series is initially poorly fitted, principal components filtering will probably help to identify a nonlinear structure insofar as it has been fed enough data to capture the complexity of the time series of events. The relative merits of the eigenvalue 1.00 criterion and the scree test for determining the correct number of components were also addressed. Oblique rotation procedures are recommended.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
